PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Post by bamfan09 » Sat Apr 25, 2009 5:38 pm

Everytime I try to import a song into audacity, it compresses the song into less than one second. I don't know why or how. If anyone could please tell me how to import my songs without this happening or at least how to fix it, that would be great. I appreciate any help I get.

You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support . Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC & MP2 in 1.3.

If this is the case you have two basic options:

1. find and use some converter software to convert your file to a type that Audacity supports

2. play the file in any music software that supports that particular file format and record it in Audacity.
